Means the Akuffo Addo government was not that Bad. As the NDC was preaching during campaign period.
My seven year old son can do better with such borrowed money
Wow ! this is music in our ears from NDC minister. Confession time before the pope arrives. Ken Ofori Atta deserves powder of Trump.
Here we go again! The FM 38.2 megahertz Osono radio listeners have been jolted from their stupor. This report is twisted and jaundiced. Ato Forson never said what Ghanaweb is reporting. He said that the 5.7 growth reported la ...

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine.....for instance 10 paracetamol at once......or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.

FRANKIE the Ayigbe man who don't see any good thing with Akans yet they have been relying on them for food ever since Osagyefo brought them to Ghana.
.....brought them from where? They were already living at their current location before the borders were altered after a UN supervised referendum, after which that part of German Togoland became part of modern day Ghana. ...

Has Ghanaweb started twisting and distorting facts and truth?
Another illiterate hollow man Agbesi Kwasi. Data does lie but Agbesi wants data and the records to say something else to discredit the previous government. But it won’t wash. Shame on you Agbesi.
That doesn't mean KEN OFORI ATTA and the AKYEM MAFIA are not corrupt. If governance is all about borrowing, my 17years old son could manage Ghana better than NANA ADDO anc KEN OFORI ATTA.
AKUFO ADDO GOVERNMENT BORROWED
All governments borrow.
The truth is come out. Ken Ofori your God will vindicate you.
This was the doing of Amin Adam. He came to clean up Ken's mess.
Amin Adam is a genius. Ghanaians will get to know the truth, it's just a matter of time
Which Ken ? This was made possible because of the removal of Ken Ofori Atta and more importantly the guidance of the IMF
Ghanaians Ghanaians what type of people are we? President Mahama is saying the economy is criminally managed. His finance minister says the economy was doing well in 2025. Which one is the truth? It means Ken Ofori Atta is an ...

Maybe Amin Adam is the economic genius rather.
I salute Amin Adam for his brilliance. Akufo Addo should have given him the chance a lot earlier.
This means the last finance minister was the best to be the one from day one. Akufool Adui just handpicked his cousin without any reasoning
Unbelievable. You mean the crime scene economy?
You did not understand what he said. Fools like you
A whole Ghanaweb doing Jandam. As if we do not understand English and understood what Ato said. 93billion Ghana cedi fiscal deficit . NPpigs for u. They still have mouth to talk nonsense.
Fool. What have you achieved in your miserable life
IMF adawroma. Is this news? With IMF 3 billion dollars injection
Can you do the same?
Ken Ofori Atta has been portrayed as a bad finance minister by his own party and NDC not knowing he was really working. Ken the $2.68billion debt relief and by the testimony of Ato Forson one day posterity will judge you as o ...

The last finance minister did the magic
Are you a Ghanaian, if yes, did Mahama and his useless NDC go to the IMF? Yes, they went to the IMF through the Asantehene and secure just $980million before NPP came to power so, stop the usual "Ghana ni adwene fi" and reaso ...

Tell your Boss Mr Mahama who said the economy was criminally managed
Shameless NDC crooks fools who uses propaganda and lies about the Npp gov't to win power.
One may quite easily be led to conclude that Dr. Amin Adam did well during his short tenure, but unfortunately for the NPP, it was rather too little too late.
All those works were done by Ken Ofori Atta not Dr Amin Adam. Let’s give credit to who deserves it.
No, investor confidence which sank low during Ken's tenure was restored when Dr. Adam assumed office.
Besides, was it not Ken's 'work' that took us back to the IMF in first place?

Ghanaians, ndc is now confession their wickedness and lies. The drunkard mahama stupidly told the whole nation that Ghana's economy is in ICU . Now the cut is out of the box. Ghanaians have seen nothing yet
He never said anywhere in the statement that NPP achieved better debt management..... you guys at Ghanaweb are gradually becoming propagandists for the NPP......we are getting to see you and we'll soon advise ourselves
Ei, ghanaweb, hmmmm
Where in his speech did the finance minister said dat.....des child play things will not fly again ooooo....ofui...
So if they managed the Economy better, why did you lie to win power?
I love it when politicians speak truth and being honest.
Ato had no other choice because the truth had already been made public and ATO COULDN'T DARE TO LIE SO BLATANTLY in parliament on this occasion.
Ghanaweb is now misinforming the public.

Mr Forson. Thank you for being honest about state of the economy over the past year including better than expected results. This is what we need honesty regardless which party it favours. You've earn my vote and respect.
Thats a lie. People, look for the budget and read yourself
Ato Forson said the growth was galamsey or extractive which does not benefit us nut foreignets because of capital flight. Which betting tax did Bawumia say he will abolish if Amin is saying it was not implemented. Liars expos ...

Dear Ato Forson,
Celebrating mediocrity is a NO NO in the agenda to reset ghana. This your apparent celebratory comment on the statistical data is a bad sign for your leadership.
Ghanaians are not in the mood for such.

Reality will certainly set in. Bye
Does it mean drunkard Mahama lied to Ghanaians when he said that the previous government criminally mismanaged and destroyed the economy?
npp is bleeding for scraping e levy
Why should Npp bleed for scraping e levy. Didn't Bawumia say the same thing
Ghana web really? I hope it’s not what am thinking. When did he say that? Why the money you collected is not finished? Have some credibility or you will lose well thinking readers.
A twisted report. Oh, no! What has ghanaweb become?
Ok. The rain had flooded the room and destroyed assets before they closed the doors and windows.
False statement and propaganda and fake. Which part of the budget statement stated this. Is this not the opposite? Npp wasted 8 years of Ghanaians time and emptied Ghana into their individual pockets. Ghana is being reset. Ke ...

Cause a problem and pretend to solve it. He increased the debt-to-GDP ratio in the first place.
When the NPP in its 8 years keeps referring to a baseline of 2016 to always make a point
We all listened to the finance minister, he said "at the end of 2024" so caption your story well.
Ghanaweb and npp
So now Ghanaians will go back to the Npp next election , how can people be so fools, this two party are playing Ghanaians maind games
Ghana itself one does not know when many politicians will.be serious ok. How good was the Akuffo Addo government and who said a growth in GDP means a good performance or those who think do think the economy should rather ...

Please before you make comments, did you listen to the budget in ditto? Dr Amin be careful. JDM commended you in one of his rallies, don't sell your soul

Amin Adam is saying that Ndc ‘s claim of a betting tax abolition in the budget is a FRAUDULENT AND CAPRICIOUS LIE.
Easier said than done. Who are you talking about, Ato Forson, really? He was part of NDC's 2012-2016 finance ministry member and what was their records?

If this statement that previous did a bit better then, thee current finance minister honest.
As for the truth, you can never ran away from it after all dirty propaganda. Truth never dies
Yesterday the Ghana Statistical Service showed that GDP growth for 2024, was over 5%. Therefore, Forson, had no choice but to include this in his Budget Statement. The Debt to GDP ratio is also lower than what we were led to ...

Yes, the actual figure was 5.7%, and can NDC achieve that? We are watching.

No budget by a sitting government is accepted by the opposition. This is always the case.
The Finance Minister said so?
Sticka is seek in the mind. He talks without thinking about what he is saying. This guy's will collapse the NPP peer before 2028. The NPP has know plan to redeem their missgovernance but rather want to use takashie to claim r ...

It's always good to tell the truth than to lie.Well done Ato Forson for telling the truth about the achievements on the GDP growth of the NPP government
On paper there was growth but to citizens it was not and example is like drop in inflation as we hear all the time in Ghana but prices of goods are still the same.
When you came out from the womb, do you look the same or you see changes with your physicals, and why?
